Taylor GS Mini (QC where are thou?)

The Guitar Tech

He is commonly associated or referred to as the 3rd party in
resolving problems that appear in new or old instruments there for he is
not a QC person for any particular company.Just merely exist to provide
service with consent from the client.

The Client/Buyer.

They are an important factor for the existence musical
business.Regardless of Noobie or Pro player,they sometime needs second
opinion about their intended purchase.Such opinion may come from circle
of friends prior or a Tech after(a week later). There for they are not
the QC hands and might over looked an unpleasant issue or more in their
instrument.

The Manufacturer

Having knowledge together with impressive and customized tooling
capability.Their job is to deliver a workable/functional instrument
regardless of any price range/model to the end user.Having a QC dept
should deter malfunction such as weak low G,B and high E output when plugged in,uneven
saddle bottom will result in uneven down force on the piezo.Checking it through a proper amps in a quiet test room should expose any abnormality.For this GS Mini none of the above were
resolve in the factory.

The Solution

I sanded the saddle bottom flat enabling the piezo
to get maximum string vibration/output from all six instead of just three.For those who intend to get this guitar,do an in store audio test on the
electronics before buying.
